About Electronic Journals

Many publishers of scholarly journals are now providing online access to the exact same information available in print form. Some journals are published only electronically. E-journals offer a number of advantages to traditional print journals:

• Often, you can access articles in e-journals earlier than the print versions
• You can often perform online full-text searching on tables of contents as well as the text of articles in e-journals
• You can access e-journals directly from home or office and save a trip to the library
• You can easily browse tables of contents of journals in the collection

Electronic journals are available in a number of ways to University of Pittsburgh faculty, students and staff. Often the full-text of the journals are searchable, or you can browse by title and issue. Articles may be read online or printed. Help is often available at the specific electronic journal site.

About E-Journal Aggregators (Collections of ejournals)

• We have several collections of electronic journals.
• There is some duplication of titles across collections.
• Coverage (holding) of the same titles may vary across collections.
• Generally, you can do cross-title searching of all journals within a collection.
• Search and Browse capabilities vary among collections.
